A schooner Asbore.

NORTH EASTMAN. Mass, March 15.-An
unknown two.masted schooner went ashore
this morning about o'clock two miles
south. of the life saving station at Nausett.
All attempts to reach her by the crew Of
the station have failed. The sea is making
a clean sweep over the schooner. and the
hull is almost under water. Three men
can be seen from the shore lashed to the
foretop, and one man is clinging to the
bowsprit. The life saving station has fired
fifteen lines at the vessel, out of which
only one reached her, but the sea is too
heavy to do anything. There is not much
prospect of saving the crew unless the
weather moderates. The schooner lies
head on over half mile from shore. The
wind is blowing gale from the northeast.

CHICAGO, March 15.-States Attorney
Grnnell was the author of coup d. etat
this afternoon, and the blatant Cook county
boodlers are now wishing they had never

every witness had been examined. it was
decided to arrest the principal Of
fcials connected with the several in
stitutiOns, and the sheriff's officers ar
rested Harry Varnell, warden of the
insane asylum. w. J. McGargle. warden of
county hospital, Ed Drscoll accountant at
county hospital and Ed Mcdonald engineer
of the hospital. The grand jury claim to
have evidence enough to indict twenty
seven people connected with the frauds in
Cook county. but these parties here named
have all been indicted under the charge of
conspiracy. The grand jury had about
thirty witnesses before them to-day. and 1t
was stated that several of the high-toned
merchants of Chicago who had failed to Sc
cure contracts for furnishing the county in
stitutions with supplies, were among the
most anxious complainants.
AN ARMY OF DETECTIVES
and deputy sheriffs is scouting the city for
others of the boodlers. They ard their
friends were beside themselves with fear
and excitement all evening. Mike Nc
Donald, John Crawford and host of
others were reported te be flying all over
the city hastily devising means of relief for
their indicted friends. Cabs were dashing
at break-neck speed from the sheriff's
Office-the headquarters of the prosecution,
to the county hospital, the insane asylum,
and other places where the conspirators
were wont to meet. Warden McGarigle
was the first game bagged. He was at
once driven to the sheriff's Office
from the hospital. Mike McDOn-
aid was promptly on hand and had E.
S. Dryer, prominent banker, and
real estate agent there in moment Dryer
quickly furnished bail. Warden Varnell
was at the theater when he heard the news
that officers were after him. Varnell coolly
walked to the sheriff's office and gave him.
self up. He and the others, like McGarigle,
were baled almost the moment they
reached the Office of the sheriff. About
midnight. when the suspects were being
brought in, crowds of curious citizens gath
cred about the county building, where in
gress was sternly barred to all but officers,
their prisoners and persons about to sign
bonds.
The arrests are understood to be upon
indictments returned by the special grand
Nry, which has been in session but two or
three days.

the Rescue.


Special to the Globe.
HERMAN, Mimi, March 15.-The fol-
lowing resolutions have been adopted by
Andrew j. Hubbard post:
Whereas, This post is in receipt Of GER
tain circular from Levi Butler Post, No. 73
of Minneapolis, condemning and denouncing
and calling upon all posts and comrades in
this state to condemn and denouuce Senator
u. W. HlXson and other senators and repre-
sentatiyes for voting against the soldiers
home BILL which became law at the session
Of the legislature just closed.
Resolved, That we, the members Of An
drew J. Hubbard post, of which Senator Hix-
son is an honored and respected member, de-
nounce said circular as unjust and false q
document entirely unworthy of the source
from whence it came, casting as it does a
stigma upon the name of our comrade. Sem
ator Hixsou, who by his vote against said
soldiers home bill only voiced the wishes and
obeyed the instructions of US. his comrades
expressed to him by formal resolutions Of this
post and sother posts, and by numerous
letters from comrades Of his senatorial dis
trict in their individual capacities. We were
PROMPTED to take said action because we be-
lieved, and still believe, that said bill was
drawn with the idea Of booming the cities of
st. Panl and Minneapolis more than it was
intended to benefit our unfortunate comrades
and because we believe that direct relief
NO Ue cuedpeF ~ tue State ana more ac-
ceptable to our comrades than a fashionable
poor house.
Resolved further, That we believe that it
was and is still the intention of the authors
of the said original soldiers home bill to not
only drain 100000 but many millions of dol
lars out Of the treasury Of the state of Mnne-
sofa and to expend said money to beautify
grounds which will be used as q park for said
great cities, and for the benefit of few of
our spread eagle comrades who may be made
commissioners, overseers etc, and to i'm
prison more of us who are less fortunate.
Watch with what energy the location of the
soldiers home will be worked in the interest
of one or both of these cities, and how the
patriotism of each succeeding legislature will
be appealed to for appropriations to aid said
glorious scheme.
Resolved, That a copy Of these resolutions
be forwarded to department headquarters
and to each post in the state of Minnesota TO
be spread upon the minutes. and with the re-
guest that they be published in all county
papers.
